ARTICLE
Written by Kathleen Willcox & Robin Shreeves for newyorkwines.org
A few hours before Red Newt Cellars’ winemaker Kelby Russell left to board a flight to represent New York State wines at the 2023 Wine Paris/VinExpo event, he hopped on the phone to discuss why he loves his wine community. That’s not surprising for the very busy Kelby—he also has his own wine label, Kelby James Russell Wines—who received the 2023 Phyllis Feder Unity Award from the New York Wine & Grape Foundation. The award recognizes individuals who have volunteered their time, shown exceptional leadership and achieved recognized results in building industry cooperation and unity.
Kelby didn’t set out to be a winemaker. After graduating from Harvard in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Government and a minor in Economics, he planned to have a career in orchestra management after graduation. But he fell in love with wine during a two-week stint in a Tuscan vineyard—for the sole purpose of getting free room and board to stay in Italy longer—between his junior and senior years of college.
That tiny choice had an outsize impact on the rest of his life. Wine, not music, became his calling. After college graduation, he started as an intern at Fox Run Vineyards.

Book Club

Pre-emergents for Turf
Lawn landscaping has two ends of the spectrum. On one side are those that feel grass is no longer relevant and the yard should be filled with edibles and native plants. The other opinion is that the homeowner should maintain carefully manicured turf to present a clean and well kept neighborhood. It is quite unfortunate when these two ideologies live next door to each other. Read more.
Curries
This is a term that will mean different things in various cultures. In India, which we most commonly associate with a curry, it is a combination of spices that will depend on the region. Commonly it will contain turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, and ginger. In Thailand it is a paste of of aromatics like garlic, lemongrass, and (again) ginger. Served with vegetables and a meat, the cooling effect of coconut will balance out the flavors. When you are in Japan you will find it starts with a roux (combination of butter and flour and a staple in French cooking) ending up with a dark sauce that can include garam masala. Served over white rice with vegetables and meat, it is a full meal. The Caribbean is a combination of Scotch bonnet peppers, spices, and herbs. There is a thinner variety that features vinegar for a sour turn to balance the hot sauces. Read More.
